AB  - Cancer  pain  is  usually  caused  directly  by  neoplastic  injury  to  pain-sensitive  structures.  For  this  reason,  primary  antineoplastic  therapy,  including  radiation,  chemotherapy,  and  palliative  surgery,  should  be  considered  part  of  an  analgesic  strategy  in  some  cases.  When  therapy  directed  at  the  tumor  is  inappropriate,  is  not  feasible,  is  ineffective,  or  causes  painful  therapy-related  syndromes,  symptomatic  analgesic  therapies  become  the  overriding  concern.  Opioid-based  pharmacotherapy  is  the  mainstay  approach,  but  adjunctive  anesthetic,  surgical,  psychiatric,  and  physical  modalities  may  be  essential  as  well  (see  Chapter  54,  Cancer  Pain  Syndromes).  Pharmacologic  approaches  may  be  systemic  or  regional  (anesthetic).
